YAY FREEDOM!
(:
I have made out a list of to-do stuff during my holidays and FINALLY, I'M GONNA STRIKE THEM OUT ONE BY ONE.
Man, this is exciting! :D
And one of the items on the list is to actually post out this email i received ages ago.
Think so easy ah, I need to search through thousands of mails hor.
I think this email is truly meaningful.
Yup, reflect on yourself and treasure everything you have.
Don't complain on minor matters (yes, Singaporeans -.-), look around you, you are already one of the fortunate fews on Earth.
Here is some evidence.
I know its pretty long, but take your time to read it.
Earth Status Report - 2006
If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:
57% Asians
21% Europeans
14% Americans (northern and southern)
8% Africans
52% women
48% men
70% coloured-skins
30% caucasians
89% heterosexuals
11% homosexuals
6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America
80% would have bad living conditions
70% would be uneducated
50% underfed
1 would die
2 would be born
1 would have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education
When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity,
understanding, patience and education.
Also think about the following -
This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.
If you never suffered a war,
the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture,
or hunger,
you are happier than 500 million people in the world.
If you can enter into a place of worship without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world.
If there is a food in your fridge,
you have shoes and clothes,
you have bed and a roof,
you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.
If you have a bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box,
you belong to the 8% of the people of the world who are well-to-do.
If you read this, you are three times blessed because:
1. somebody just thought of you.
2 . you don't belong to the 200 million people
who cannot read.
3 . and... you have a computer!
:D
Feel much better now?
No matter how much you suffer or how much something bothers you, there is always someone out there who is in a worse condition than you.
If that person is bearing through it all, why can't you?
I have got a lot to learn too since I am a person who can't stop complaining about every single thing in life.
So yea~
Digest the report.
Will blog more often now since I'm not out on dates with my textbooks.
Being single sure is better :D
HAHA.
AND!
All the best to those taking the Higher Mother Tongue and Mother Tongue paper tomorrow!
Especially to those who are re-taking the MT paper.
Jiayou peeps!
